Danny Castillones Sillada & His Music(Audio)

As a musician and performance artist, Sillada was described by a Filipino writer-columnist Juaniyo Arcellana as “a perfect example of art in a public space, part performance and walking innuendo, straight from the wilds of Mindanao." (Juaniyo Arcellana, Zoetrope: More Art in Public Spaces, The Philippine Star, May 5, 2008).

He writes and composes ethnic songs, rap (Hip Hop), and avant-garde ethno-techno music. He has already launched an album “The Battle Within” (2008), a techno-music with ethnic roots and four singles, a Visayan folk song "Dandansoy" that he arranged in blues harp, ethnic songs “Canta Para Kanmo” and “Ya Uli Da Si Bodie,” and a rap music titled “Bulag,” a political satire about the Philippine politics and politicians.

Music Albums and Singles

“Danny is also known for his performance art and forerunning extraordinary ‘ethno-techno’ music – a rare hybrid of ethnic/tribal beats and digital ambient sounds, particularly mimicking nature. He also dabbles and performs hip-hop music with his own compositions. (Why hip-hop? He believes it’s a simple way of reaching out to the younger crowd; something they can groove to and connect with easily).”
